THE clergyman, Or. Haddock, who
prosecuted the whisky saloons out in
Iowa, and was murdered by one of a
party unidentified 50 far, IS not a sill
enced force in that State. The great
interest over the trial of John ArenS
dorf, one of the men indicted for the
crime, in SIOUX City, mas by no means
subsidsd with the failure of the jury to
agree, one juror holding out for con-
viction. 1t was proved that there were
several persons standing in a shadow
OF fence, and from some one OF them
came the fatal shot. 1t is probable
that they were all on the watch to put
Haddock "out of the way" but except
by confession from some one it is not
easy to see how the guilty hand can be
identified. In the meantime the death
of Haddock makes the Iowa Prohibi-
ton party only more determined.
Whisky has had many victims and
martyrs, but this is the most Conspi-
cuous case in which man has laid
down his life in the effort to put it

LOGIC is LOGIC.

Ii always was one of the anomalies
Of modern politics, why a state which
owes so much to it's manufacturing in
dustries as Delaware should i'll domi-
nant sentiment be free trade state.
But she isn't consistent IN this atti-
tude towards her productive industries.
New Castle county has her (iron)
horseshoe interests, while Kent and
Sussex counties likewise have their
horse-shoe-craO industries.
Tne latter Ike every other interest
when injured, lbIeaas fer protection. So
do her other Delaware Bay industries.
Her clam men clamor for it.
Her Delaware shad men shout for it.
Her oyster shuckers shrek for it.
Her horse shoe crab men cry for it.
And her Legislative SolCns at Dover
have heard their cries, for law has
been framed and presented to them,
which forbids any one under painful
penalties, from having in or upon his
or her person one horseshoe crab, ex-
cept tor use as food for chickens or
swine.
Now to the uninitiased this seems a
strange law, and of strangely insigniti
cant puIport- But inquiry shows that
the horseshoe crab industry is an i'm
portant down | elaware local interest.
That years ago they lired the shores of
Delaware Bay and made a capital fer
tilizer. Better indeed than the modern
artificial product.
But grcedyIndivldualS and COMPANIES
have invaded their wonted hAnts and
have fJr individual gain appropriated
them, unil This Crustaceous "Critter"
promises to become extinct.
Hence these cries.
Now for the logic OF the situation.
Protection for horse shoe crabs is the
war cry in IOw,r Delaware.
Ii she protects her horse shoe crabs,
then IS 4 matter of natural justice she
must 10 turn protect her horse-shoes,
which Wilmington SO largely produces.
If she protects her horse shoe indus
tries, then she is under equal obligation
TO protect every other native American
industry.
She can't d, this ana be Democratic.
Then Delaware should be Republican.
Logic Is Logic.

REFORM IN BALTIMORE,

Two more election judges in Baltl-
more have been convicted for their
fraudulent prsctices and the Reform
League of that city, can take fresh
courage in their work OF showing up
the scandalous frauds, which have made
elections in that city byword ard
reproaCh. The "AmerlCan" feliCitates
all good citizens irrespective OF party,
upon the fact that "twelve respectable
business men fairlyrepresenting both the
Republican and Democratic parties,
have given the lie to the base insinua-
ton, that it would injure Baltimore to
show up and put an end to these prac
tees. 1t thinks that day has at length
broken, and that flood of light is
poured upon the methods by which
Certain parties have been able TO seat
and unseat officials, control boards,
dictate appointments, plug corporations,
and do hundred other questionable
acts despite popular protest, and
in defiance of the demands of an over
whelming majority Of the decent peo-
pie of that city. 50 far but two of the
precincts have been heard from. In one
a bald-taced fraud OF S. votes was
shown after the close OF the polls. How
many illegal ballots were cast during the
progress OF the election must be lett to
conjecture. In the other 42 more bal
lots were counted than were checked
on the poll-books. How many votes
were frdudulently cast under assumed
names the public will never know, but
enough is disclosed to furnish a basis
for calculation.
The two precincts averaged 5S fraud
ulent votes, or 6.S4o for the $50 pre-
cincts which make up the city, if the
same amount Of fraud had been perpe-
trated in each. In 1886 the elections
in Baltimore were allowed to so by de-
fault, and the cheating, save in few
words, was for glory, not business. The
election of the preceding autumn had
disheartened many good citizens, of
both parties, and they did not care to
again subject themselves to the humili
alton of depositing ballot which they
felt morally satisfied would either not
be counted, or would be neutralized by
bogus opponent or bundle of pup
ding tickets. In 1885 Mayor Hodges
is alleged to have received 2,24O ma
jority. The loss of 6,S4o votes would
have helplessy showed him under. 1t
IS only by thus practically illustrating
the nature and magnitude of these
election frauds that their significance
can be brought home to the people |
\ few votes added here or there may
seem to many a small matter, but when
it is considered that an average change |
OF IS votes to a precinct would have
placed Judge Brown at the head of the
municipal government, with all that
that implies. and that the average of
fraud thus far disclosed by the Criminal
Court in 1855, when there was no or
ganized effort to defeat the ring, is three
times that number, the citizens of Bal
timore can form some estimate of the |
netariouS work k of the corrupt bosses
who control their elections, and the |
fearful responsibility they assume when
they allow it to continue"

POLLING PENNSYLVASIA CaTTIE T.

The practice of dehornmg cattle is
becoming very general in some por-
tions of Chester and Montgomery coun-
ties, in this State. and many advantages
are claimed for it. 1t has long been
praCticed in Europe IN very scientific
fashion, and thousands of cattle have
been dehorned in Illinois and Indiana.
The operation, if performed at the
right spot on the horns, is said to be
absolutely painless and so free from
danger that no fatalities are recorded.
Discussion concerning this practice
is being carried on in a lively fashion
in many journals of agriculture. Some
writer's, farmers most OF them, claim
that practical experience proves that in
three generations a race OF pOlled cat
tie can be produced, and that there are
numerous important advantages in the
system. Others, generally theorists
and proteSSed humanltarlanS, cry out
against the alleged cruelty of the opera
ton. which is really far less cruel than
many others necessary on stock farms
Every man who has been chased by
a cross bull will cast his vote in favor
of the dehorning process, whether it
be painful or painless. The prospect
of raising a race of cattle which cannot
hook summer Doarders, or lun fisher
men and spOrtsmen out of meadows at
2,4o gait, is too tempting to be cast
aside for a mere sentiment.-Er.
